Hello ****, I understand your predicament. In Virginia, you can file a Writ of Habeas Corpus if you believe your son's rights were violated during trial. This action can be taken post-appeal as well. I'd strongly recommend consulting a lawyer for this process.
Do you know any good lawyer in danville or roanoke who would take the case free or low pay
I'm sorry, but I can't provide recommendations for specific lawyers. I'd suggest contacting the Virginia State Bar for a list of attorneys who might be able to assist with your case. Their Lawyer Referral Service may be able to help.
Thank you
You're welcome, ****. I'm glad I could provide some guidance. Remember, the Virginia State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service can be a good starting point. Best of luck with everything.
